Primal Quest 2010

January 11, 2010

And so it begins…

Welcome to CrossFit South Brooklyn’s Primal Quest 2010. We have quite a few folks in on the Quest, so let’s plan to use each other as resources!

I want to thank you all for sharing your goals with me. You’ve given me plenty of topics to address over the next few weeks; stay tuned for posts on vegetable recipes, leaning out, and lots of other fun paleo topics/articles. My goal is to post 1-3 times a week, be available for one on one nutrition sessions and point you to the best sources of information/good food I can.

If you haven’t done so, I suggest getting in a big food shop straight away. Set yourself up right by stocking your house with canned wild caught fish, nuts, avocado, veggies and a nice big piece of meat that you can roast and eat on for the next couple of days. The key is to arm yourself so that you don’t find yourself in a situation where you’re at the mercy of your environment.

Has everyone taken their before photos? Get that done before Wed.

We now have a google group courtesy of Sarah Haskins. The link is posted under Current Obsessions. Register as a member and feel free to start discussions.

2 hard boiled eggs, 1/2 cup homemade wholefat yogurt, 1 cup thawed berries, coffee with cream. Like David I’m keeping the dairy but I’m going to limit it to occasional yogurt, and cream in my 1 cup of coffee a day (one of my goals, down from 2-3). No cheese or milk.

5 eggs over easy, 2 clemintimes, and 1/4lbs. of chicken brest in a lemon sauce. My mind was so programed on toast that it some how ended up on the counter with the butter right next to it. Also I used ketchup unsure if thats cheating or not (because of the vinagar), but \I doubt I can give up that delicious condement. I think it goes without saying that I will be enjoying a nice half gallon of milk later on in the day. I will say this though, I am swearing off all other forms of dairy.

Lunch: can of tuna, tomatoe soup, and some macadamian nuts. It was much harder to come up with a “lunch” I soon relized that my apartment is full seriously like more than 85% with grains. I need to go shoping.

Can someone please tell me what the ground rules are? I can only start on Feb 2nd but I”ll try and do it for the same length of time as you guys. And of course, I’ll try to stick as close to it as possible while I’m Down Under.

Breakfast- black tea and 2 hard-boiled eggs.
The only dairy I’m planning to have is milk in my tea and coffee.
Overhauled my cabinets and did 2 rounds of grocery shopping. Purchased meat other than chicken or turkey for the first time possibly ever.
